Science and Maths books should be next


speak to publishers and check on books published for children with bad english..

I WAS elated when I read the report “Only imported English textbooks from next year” (The Star, Oct 5). At last, we are moving in the right direction! Implementation has always been the issue in the past but a dying man will grasp at straws after all.

However, after hearing stories from primary school English teachers who received training for these new books, I am very concerned. Though teachers sat for a very basic course on it last year, and were given this year to familiarise themselves with the books, they were only recently given further information and the guide. This means they have only two months to prepare themselves to teach in an entirely new way next year.
